Product details
Polished calipers and drilled-and-slotted rotors give this Tri-Five hub kit its visible finish. For 1955–1957 Chevrolet passenger cars, Wilwood specifies polished 4-piston calipers and 12.19-inch SRP drilled-and-slotted rotors in this front package. Bill Wood founded Wilwood Engineering in 1977. From Camarillo, California, the company designs and manufactures disc brake systems and components including calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. This kit should be matched to the hydraulic and mechanical requirements of the complete vehicle.
Package and installation requirements
- Included hubs offer 5 x 4.5 and 5 x 4.75-inch wheel bolt circles and 1/2-20 studs. Verify the intended wheel pattern and template clearance.
- The manufacturer specifies a +0.23-inch hub offset on each side. Account for that wheel-position change when checking tire, fender and suspension clearance on the Tri-Five Chevrolet.
Fitment & Compatibility
The Tri-Five Chevrolet application list covers Bel Air, Nomad, One-Fifty, Two-Ten and Sedan Delivery from 1955–1957, together with the listed 1957 Del Ray. Verify the original spindle before selecting the hub kit, especially on a car that has already received a disc conversion or suspension change. New hubs supply two wheel bolt-circle options and 1/2-20 studs; check that the intended wheels match the selected pattern. DS449 describes the bearing and hub assembly sequence and provides the clearance profile for the 12.19-inch rotor. The kit changes the hub and braking hardware but does not include replacement spindles, a booster or a master cylinder. Review those existing components as part of the finished conversion rather than treating the new calipers as a complete hydraulic system.
Review the fitment table and numbered notes below together; a matching model name alone does not establish the installation.
